The purpose of this project is to obtain these data for populations in Pennsylvania. With the accumulation of these data, we will
be able to propose a Conservation Action Plan for the Chesapeake Logperch. In addition to the accumulation of life history data, we expect this project to produce a knowledge reservoir/roadmap for the potential recovery of this species Due to the synonymy of this species with P. caprodes and its limited distribution and status, little research has been conducted on the Chesapeake Logperch. The Chesapeake Logperch selected habitat that either did not overlap with syntopic darters, or had a more narrow range than syntopic darters. We are currently unsure if the Chesapeake Logperch is a resident of large bodies of water and then migrate to smaller tributaries to spawn.
